Job Details

Wycombe Abbey is synonymous worldwide with excellence, aspiration and the highest standards of pastoral and academic care. Now, for the first time in Thailand, we are bringing this world class British education to Bangkok. Benefitting from a 66-acre site, making it one of the largest international school campuses in the Bangkok metropolitan area, with outstanding sporting facilities and state of the art classrooms.

We are seeking outstanding teachers and senior leaders to become Founding Staff of Wycombe Abbey International School Bangkok, opening August 2026. This is a rare and exciting opportunity to shape a new school from the ground up—its culture, its curriculum, its traditions and its community.

The Bangkok campus will join our connected network of Wycombe Abbey schools in the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Changzhou, Hangzhou, Nanjing, and soon Singapore and Incheon, South Korea. Together, these schools are building an international ecosystem that supports student and staff exchanges, joint academic initiatives, professional collaboration, and a shared commitment to developing compassionate, confident global citizens.

This is not simply the opening of a new school. It is a celebration of what makes Wycombe Abbey exceptional; our academic ambition, our dedication to character development, and our belief that Every Child Can Excel. We look forward to welcoming many new staff and families into our community.

Living and working in Thailand offers teachers a wonderful quality of life. Colleagues enjoy a warm, welcoming culture, outstanding food, vibrant arts and festivals, and easy access to some of the world’s most beautiful beaches and landscapes. Bangkok itself is a dynamic, modern city with excellent transport, healthcare and amenities, while also providing a rich sense of tradition and community. Many teachers appreciate the attractive cost of living, which allows for a comfortable lifestyle and the opportunity to travel widely throughout the region. With a strong professional network of international educators and an enviable work life balance, Thailand is an exciting, inspiring and rewarding place to live and grow both personally and professionally.

We provide an attractive and competitive package, including low taxation, an annual bonus, annual flight allowance, relocation allowance, medical insurance (including dependent family), accommodation school fee remission (100% for up to two children) and free school meals. With Thailand’s low cost of living, staff can enjoy an excellent lifestyle, opportunities for regional travel and the ability to save.

From the moment you accept an offer, our dedicated HR and onboarding team will support every stage of your move to Bangkok. Colleagues benefit from a comprehensive induction programme that introduces them to life in Thailand, our school culture and the practicalities of settling into a new city. Offering guidance on visas, shipping, accommodation or living in Bangkok, our team is on hand to ensure a smooth, positive transition and a confident start to your new role.
